This and many other sources at the time reported that the third pilot did indeed save the day. But it doesn't really matter in the sense that the crew 2 - or 3 depending on which you believe did not crash, with the self same fault that resulted in a crash the next day.
At least thats how I read it. What do you think?

The third pilot did save the day, but what did he say?
Runaway trim or STS working wrong way or something else.

From your link.

Airline mechanics tried four times to fix related issues on the plane starting Oct. 26, according to the Indonesia preliminary report. After pilots reported issues with incorrect display of speeds and altitude in the two prior flights, workers in Denspasar, Bali, replaced a key sensor that is used by the Boeing plane to drive down its nose if it senses an emergency.

There could have been another MCAS event on this aircraft between 26 Oct and the reported one on the 28 Oct.
