Changed one rear caliper and now brakes are spongy to no brakes at all if you keep your foot on the pedal goes all the way to the floor. Bled the brake line and no air in the fluid line. Clear fluid.
Bleed ALL lines at calipers....
SOURCE: 2005 f150 spongy brakes
it sounds like your still not getting all the air out of your lines. it helps to have a brake bleeder but they are expensive, it also could be that the gasket inside the master cylinder is inverted even if it is a new master cylinder this could be the case, ive had four bad remanned ones in a row, before i got a good one... hope i could help
SOURCE: brake pedal goes to the floor
check vacumn and\or connections to the vacumn boost cannister.

loosen of the hand-brake adjustment and press the brake pedal a few times to self adjust the rear brakes.
Re-tighten the handbrake adj last.
Front brake sounds like a seized caliper,If possible remove caliper and clean and lubricate the piston.
This may work but replacement caliper may be the only other solution.Make sure the caliper slides are also clean and lubricated and the brake pads are in good order.(TRY THIS FIRST)
Also new brake shoes can make the pedal feel spongy for a couple of hundred miles until they have been run in.
SOURCE: I changed rear brake pads. I clamped brake line,
get someone to stamp on the pedal when your opening the bleeder and close it before he/she hits the floor with there foot.may take several attempts.

you need a new master cyclinder..you needed to open the brake line before you forced the caliper back in ,,,otherwise you force the fliud the wrong way though the master cylinder and ruin the internals
