I thought I read this right after the crash: It was in several sources.

"Mar 25, 2015 ... The data from the voice recorder seems only to deepen the mystery surrounding ... the flight data recorder, but the memory card containing data on the ... may have been trying to maintain control of the aircraft as it lost altitude."

The above was the result of a google search; source was the NYT.

It was either misreporting or they found another one. Or . . .

They found the CVR soon after the crash. It turned out to contain pretty much the whole story.

They found the FDR only yesterday or the day before. It confirms what was learned from the CVR and provides additional detail, such as his exact settings on the autopilot, etc.

Reportedly, they also found a cell phone memory chip which turned out to contain a video of the crash. Just before the video ends, there is a jolt, and the cabin lurches violently. So, it's likely a wing hit first, just before the main part of the airplane hit the rocks. Perhaps the FDR data will confirm that sequence of events.
