(It requires login/password, therefore I'll copy/translate here the most important things)

1 - FDR confirm one TL above idle (1st possible mistake)
2 - Only working T/R was activated. (2nd possible mistake)
3 - Pilot tried manual break

About the VDR (only press trancripts, so until I can hear the original audio we can't be sure of anything)

1 - At touchdown, one of the pilot says "Reverser one only".
2 - After that, they say "Spoilers?? nothing..."
3 - Them "Stop it !! Stop it !! I can't.. I can't... Turn... Turn..."
Last words were not released and surely won't help us...

The most important thing, but as I said before can't be take as guaranteed yet, is that someone said it's possible to hear in the VDR: "I can't move the TL, it's rolled."

If that's true it could mean they were aware of the TL in the wrong position but couldn't do anything about it...

Let's wait untill a full FDR/VDR is leaked so we can see/hear for ourselves...
