I registered on this forum specifically to give you a solution.
I managed to remove the WWAN whitelist on the X270 (BIOS R0IET73W 1.51), but only in two steps.
First, you need to bypass the anti-tamper: in the full SPI dump, replace the signature 4C 4E 56 42 42 53 45 43 FB FF with 4C 4E 56 42 42 53 45 43 FF FF. Otherwise, any modifications won't load (black screen/beep). I did this with the HxD editor. After that, the whitelist itself is patched in the LenovoWmaPolicyDxe module: next to error 1802, the conditional branch 0F84 → 0F85 is changed. I used UEFIPatch with the following text:
# X270 WWAN whitelist (LenovoWmaPolicyDxe)
79E0EDD7-9D1D-4F41-AE1A-F896169E5216 10 P:66813E86807531E8681500003BC7752840387C244E0F84D2000000:66813E86807531E8681500003BC7752840387C244E0F85D2000000
It's important to apply the whitelist patch to the image with the patched LNVBBSEC. After flashing, the laptop boots normally and accepts third-party WWAN modules.
