I don't think it has. According to BEA's Update:
At 2 h 12 min 02, the PF said "I don’t have any more indications", (...) Around fifteen seconds later, the PF made pitch-down inputs. In the following moments, the angle of attack decreased, the speeds became valid again and the stall warning sounded again.
Also, there are two ways to move the THS. The first is to push the sidestick forward sufficiently to cause the elevator to move to an AND deflection, the other is to move the trim wheel on the center pedestal.
