Boy Pat, that is a tough call. I am not familiar with hydro-boost. I assume you made sure there is enough fluid in the boost reservoir.
I would try bleeding again, but I would first suck out all the fluid from the master cylinder reservoir. While sucking, move the hose around the bottom-most of the reservoir to suck out all dirt and impurities. I don't recall if you can, but if possible, wipe out the reservoir with a clean shop towel once empty. Then refill and re-bleed.
As stated by Turbo Diesel Dude, always bleed from the farthest wheel first which is right-rear, then left-rear, then right-front, then left-front.
I commend you and encourage you to do your own brake work. No auto shop will be as careful and determined as you to get your brakes just right. Of coarse, be sure you are doing it right to begin with. We are here to help in any way we can.
