If it's the Ethiopian crash same problem as Tiger Air, as Maurice mentions the pilots can flip one switch to turn-off the Auto-Trim feature until Boeing supplied an updated software in a few weeks. Unfortunately many pilots in Asia and other locations are not sufficiently trained to confidently fly and land their aircraft with the auto-pilot features disengaged - so they're reluctant to turn of the auto-trim when it receives anomalous readings from the angle of attack sensors. The ILS as out for repair at SFO for a few days and Korea Airlines were unable to land their plane successfully without the auto-landing system. Unless it's a new issue, this is the underlying problem - plus Boeing never told pilots the behaviour of the auto-trim has been changed. If it's something new, it reminds me of McDonnell Douglas needing to sell out to Boeing after the leading edges on the DC-10s began to fall-off.
