If you try to set dpi to absurd numbers (eg 1000), it will result in bootloop. and unless you have unlocked bootloader and usb debugging on, only way to recover would be to wipe data. So be careful before setting DPI.

It's impossible to unlock bootloader without wiping data, unless you have some serious hacking equipment like a flash box. This is a very basic security feature in any SoC.

You set DPI to *3000*?!??

Sorry to be the one to say this, but, there's a reason why these settings are hidden by default. You really should have done a backup of all your stuff or at least enable USB debugging. If you had ADB enabled this would be a simple fix, but at this stage you're effectively asking how to crack Qualcomm/Android security so I wouldn't get your hopes up :(

Already wiped data. Never enabling Dev setting again. I've put this thread only to warn some unfortunate peoples like me. Anyway thanks. And one more thing, if anyone's desperately looking for solution, maybe you can try booting into "safe mode" and maybe able to save your data. Some phones have safe mode. I don't know if poco has one. Neither I'm gonna try. :D google it

Oh no, we forgot about safe mode! Yeah it exists in all Android phones afaik, basically you power on the device and then hold Volume Down while it boots.
