MS warns against using fake Xbox One backwards compatibility "trick"
Microsoft has already discouraged people from using the code to enable the development features on the Xbox One, but apparently a JPG image has been making the Internet rounds today with a procedure to use that code in a way to get the console to recognize Xbox 360 games. There's just one big problem; the procedure is fake and all it will do is brick an Xbox One console that costs $500.
Microsoft's head of Xbox Live programming Larry Hryb has also weighed in on this issue with his Twitter feed:
"To be clear there is no way to make your Xbox One backwards compatible & performing steps to attempt this could make your console inoperable"
So basically, if you see any claims about a special cheat code to get Xbox 360 games to play on an Xbox One you can safely ignore it.

RantKatsumiGigahertz Feel bad for the people that actually done it (there's always one). They should of made it backwards compatible in the first place...
Hopefully they can manage to get a refund or something along those lines.
I think a refund or at least an exchange would be something reasonable.
I would more think an exchange if the console is still under warranty. I'm not too sure if this voids it though

XeXChamp They should take this off then if it can brick your console
Yeah I'm not sure why it was so easy to access in the first place? They should really have taken some time to think about this.

xSTaTiCBLuEx Well Microsoft shouldn't allow you to enter the dev mode straight off. It's ridiculous, it's a nice idea that devs can work straight from the console but it isn't realistc. Will result in mod's galore!
Microsoft isn't stupid, despite what some will have you believe. They will probably have a way to tell if you are running Modified hardware on the newest CoD Game.

ODST I believe this "prank" started on 4Chan so good rule of thumb here; Never believe anything from 4Chan.
That's what everyone says and then half of the killing posts on there actually happen.
