Probably not. Raising the flaps got them over the fence and closer to the runway and probably kept the sink rate from increasing with the decrease in drag. The crew did everything right and probably the lesser sink rate on impact saved the day. Whatever they come up with as the reason for no throttle response, the pilots did everything they could, thinking outside the box, to get that 777 down the best way they could.
