Default no brakes!

i have a 2001 honda accord lx. i just replaced the front passenger side brake caliper, brake hose, and brake pads.( i also put new brake pads on the driver side front as well). i replaced the brake booster too. but i still don’t have any brakes. i bleed the brakes and everything. at first i had a little bit of brake but it would take a long time to fully stop. now i have no brakes at all. my brake pedal is real spongy also. idk what the problem is?!

I know it sounds obvious, but what order did you bleed the brakes? Sometimes this can be a factor to consider.

Also, do you have any master cylinder leaks?

If the MC was old/original and you floored the pedal to bleed the brakes, you most likely damaged the seals inside the MC and it will need to be rebuild or replaced.
