There are a number of ways to get the log files. Take a look at this thread from @carpy:

Also - once RTL is started, hitting the Fly button is the way to take back control. Fly:Manual isn't going to do it.
The TLog from the controller will have the path and possibly location before communication with the controller was lost.
Solex users have two benefits in a situation like this:
1) There is a feature to locate your Solo - "Find my vehicle" - will show last known location on a map
2) There is another feature that you can enable to save logs, then TLogs for every flight are saved directly to your Android device
This something I'm happily doing away with in my Open Solo modifications. As designed, the Solo uses a smart shot called Return Home or Rewind for failsafes and for when you push the home button. When in these "smart shots", the A & B buttons are disabled and the so are sticks. The only thing you are allowed to do is push FLY or Pause. And I think you can use the left stick for camera pointing. You can't change modes or do anything else. This is like 4 different layers of unnecessary complication and unnecessary points of failure for something that is supposed to be a failsafe. If anything goes wrong in any of that complication, you're screwed. On numerous occasions I've had the solo get basically stuck in the air because damn sticks and buttons were disabled. I had to watch it just sit there hovering until the battery died and it crashed. And I'm not the only one. Oh, and there is also a line of code in there that locks out the buttons when the EKF goes bad, which is likely what happened to the OP. This is also stupid. Locking the operator out of controlling the copter in an emergency is insane. Normal controls do not get restored until it is in the final landing phase.
In my revision of Open Solo, I have dispensed with all of that crap. The failsafes use ArduCopter RTL mode, plain and simple. None of this smart shot complication. The buttons remain unlocked. The sticks remain unlocked. You can push any button you want and take control in any way you want. And in the mode change callbacks, I modified it to cope with botched smart shot exits, which is what causes a lot of the grief. Any mode changes also fires off code that ensures buttons and sticks are in normal modes, not remapped or locked out. Open Solo will also be safer solo. Making solo safe again.
Curios why b and h would knock fifty off?Keep up with the social media- of someone found it- they will tell everyone they know- Throw out a small reward- like $50... It's going to show up as long as there wasn't a large body of water nearby that it could have ended up in-,
Did you give B&H photo a call and ask if they would sell you the bundle for $349?
Nice.B&H knocked $50 off for me because I ordered 2 of the Solo/Gimbal/Extra Battery packages they advertised for $273.95- ( it didn't take long to figure out this was a mistake and did not include a gimbal even though it stated otherwise ) They knocked $50 off the package-
The gimbal was $499 back in 2015 when released?Amazon is brand new and the ebay unit is refurbished- and Amazon stands behind your purchase. If you have an issue, Amazon will make it right. No shipping cost for Prime members, this is a no-brainer!
At $168 for a gimbal, thinking it was $499 when it was initially released?
Amazon has the 3DR Solo Bundle (no gimbal) for $230 right now. Free Prime shipping

Are you sure? I assumed the 399 was the solo with gimbal installed not just thrown in the box ie retail. The fact or high possibility that the real combo's would come with rev b was one strong point in going with the 399 deal -- if it's just thrown in the box then it's a toss-up.I think there must be someone with a stock-pile of them and are releasing them strategically- B&H hasn't had 3DR gimbals ( discontinued ) for several weeks now- occasionally they will have some refurbished units that were selling for $140-$150.
But now they have new units- but they aren't offering any Solo/Gimbal combos.... yet.
I'm pretty sure the factories are no longer fabricating new gimbals.
