Yea I know.
I mean why would you really care to disable it.
Spoofing the installer is okay since you don’t install the OS everyday.
Things don’t have to be so complicated if it works in my opinion.
I’ve added these patches to config_install.plist in the repo. It should work just like this _DSM injector SSDT. I haven’t had time to try it though.

Are there other supported WiFi cards apart from the ones mentioned in the OP? The lowest priced BCM94352Z aren't Key A+E as neeeded by the Z50-70, and BCM943602BAED is more expensive and has 3 connectors but the laptop only has 2 cables (Main and AUX) so I don't know if it would work.

Hello, season's greetings.
I've problem with audio not working. I've Lenovo Z50-70, ELAN trackpad, macOS 10.13.2.
Audio was working after installing High Sierra, when I used z50.git, but backlight control didn't.
After couple of days I realised that you made a new lenovo.git. After running it I got backlight control, but audio stoped working.

Could you provide more help?

I'm attaching required files.
Thanks

I was sure that I followed instructions thoroughly, but after third reading of "Problem Reporting" I've realised that CLOVER is missing.
Sorry, here it is.
