I keep on getting this error when trying to verify through sms, but whatsapp is installed in the phone indeed:

[INFO] Using WhatsApp verification method: SMS

The whatsapp database (msgstore.db) is on a partition that is only available with root. This script exploited a vulnerability that was fixed.
