Root both phones, use smth like titanium backup to clone the app to the new phone. If you are on android.

Rooting a phone could void the warranty and also brick the phone if you dont know what you are doing.

Sure, but i think you lack the skills to do everything on your own so i suggest just wait a week.

I've done it before (on iOS), you need to select that you've changed device and you can verify with your phone number. It might be 2 days as M0J wrote, but at least lower than 7

After transferring the authenticator, any new trades or market listings will be held for a couple of days to protect your items in case your authenticator is ever transferred by a malicious person. See our Trade Holds FAQ for more information about trade holds.

Looks like there's still gonna be a hold for a couple days, still better than a full 15 days if you disable on old phone then re-enable on new phone.

The only way to do it without any hold is have a rooted phone where you can backup and transfer the secret token..

My phone was stolen recently and got a replacement SIM card from my provider with the same number. There was an option for device change, which allowed me to enter a code received by SMS and could use the authenticator right after that. Got only 48 hours trade hold.
