Default Help! Complete brake job, now NO Brakes!

2005 Silverado full brake system swap including:
Calipers
Sloted rotors
Stainless braided lines
Master cylinder
Pads/shoes
Drums
Springs/wheel cylinders
Fluid

So go to bleed them, marshmallow pedal put 3 quarts through system. Read it was the abs noids so hooked up my autoenginuity scan software and ran automated bleed test multiple times and had pressure bleed tank hooked up. Got a bit of air out but Pedal is still soft and non-drivable.

Help me out, suggestions? Am I doing something wrong with software or pressure bleeder or what? Help me out, everything I've read says bring to dealer for bleed procedure of abs but my scan soft can activate the abs noids and I've heard it do this several times and still no real air out of line and I can't drive it to try to enable the abs on loose gravel cause the brakes are almost non-existent. Open to any and all suggestions

Did you try bleeding at the master? Are you sure the new master is being fully engaged? I had an old hot rod do this to me at work. I filled the master to the top and cracked all the bleeders over night, in the morning I closed them and bled them one by one. It worked.

I did bleed the lines at the master and we bench bled the master as well. On this truck there is only two lines of the master that head back to the abs solenoid. I guess I assumed it was air in the abs system, what should I do different at the master?
