A number of Xbox1 owners have been tricked into bricking their brand new consoles by an online scam. Apparently someone posted a set of instructions online to change certain settings that it was promised would unlock hidden features within the consoles, including non existant features such as backwards compatibility. Unfortunately, once the instructions are followed, the machines enter an endless reboot loop that effectively renders them completely useless.

Yes they did and yes it was. Microsoft are unlikely to fix them under warranty as the fault is self inflicted. * +

Backwards compatability appears to be the main one that drew people in, I don't know what else was promised.
