T710 stuck in bootloop

Hi,
I am trying to fix a broken SM-T710 which is stuck in a boot loop. I have been working on this for the last 24 hours and I have not gotten very far. I would be very grateful if someone could tell me what else I can try.

First, here are the symptoms:
Holding the power button while the tablet is not plugged in will cause it to show Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 powered by android, then it shuts off.
Plugging in the tablet starts a bootloop, flashing the same message as above, shutting off, and repeating
I have not been able to get the tablet into recovery mode
I can get the tablet into download mode (home+vol down+power)
In download mode it says:
ODIN MODE
DOWNLOAD SPEED: FAST
PRODUCT NAME: SM-T710
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
Secure Download : Enabled
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 1
RP SWREV: B:2 K:0 S:0

What I have tried so far is connecting the tablet into my PC and running Samsung Smart Switch. I did the emergency recovery and initialization within that software. After entering the model and serial numbers, it downloaded the software update and initialized it on the tablet, I could see the progress bar on the tablet during the initialization phase. It successfully resets the tablet but then the boot loop begins again.

I also tried downloading the firmware from Sammobile and flash in Odin. The file I have tried flashing is T710XXU2BPB1_T710XAR2BPB1_HOME.tar.md5. ODIN flashes the files and resets the tablet...back into a boot loop. I have not tried checking re-partition when I do this, as I do not know what to do about the PIT file

Is there anything else I should be trying? Thanks
