No after Denpasar-Jakarta they basically reset the computers and cleaned a couple of plugs.
(Not sure if flushing means flushing computers or flushing the actual pitot static system)

But they didn't touch the AoA sensor.

So they basically just didn't change anything as no one looked at the FDR or QAR.
For the IAS disagree they checked the pitot static system instead of checking the real source of the problem, the AoA sensor.
Of course the error description not mentioning the stick shaker can be considered lacking description of the problem.

The Lion Air incident basically shows lack of training and corner cutting everywhere.
That is one of the reasons Boeing wasn't as much under scrutiny i believe, a good part of the focus was on Lion Air.
