Android Central Question

Trying to install and use Helium Backup on my Galaxy S5.....have installed on computer (with drivers) and on phone. Screen stuck on "Waiting for the Helium Desktop application to enable application backup on your Android.........." How long does it take? It just keeps spinning and spinning. I have enabled the PTP as well.......
 
It should take a few seconds, but remember, it hasn't been updated in a year and a half (ClockworkMod no longer exists). I don't know at which version of Android it stopped working, but it doesn't work in Oreo (not that you're running Oreo in an S5). I've just given up on it and use TWRP to make backups.
