Good evening,
So I wasn't aware of this DPI bootlooping issue until it happened to me today. I tried changing my DPI to 1000, since it worked to me before (not yet MIUI 11)
Here are some points to consider:
> USB debugging OFF
> bootloader LOCKED
>basically just stock pocophone f1 without any trace of modding.
>Mi Flash Unlock might unlock my bootloader, but I dont want to lose personal data. I tried logging in and my account has permissions to unlock. I only consider this as a last resort. (Is this feasible by the way?)
Here are some things I discovered
1. Using command prompt:
> fastboot devices - detects my phone
> adb devices - detects my phone if I select "Connect with MIAssistant" on stock recovery
> adb shell wm density -doesn't work (I think because bootloader is locked)
> fastboot flash recovery - doesn't work either(bootloader locked)
"adb devices" did not work at first. I tried doing it on fastboot to no avail.
But after some time exploring, "adb devices" worked when selecting "Connect to MIAssistant" on stock recovery
2. It actually is not "not booting", because I tried connecting a mouse using OTG when the loading circle appeared, then a very small mouse cursor appeared.
Here is a picture
3. What I can tell is, it actually boots but encounters a problem when trying to display with that DPI setting. Correct me if I am wrong with #2 and #3.
Is there any solution to this without wiping my personal data?
