Brake Pedal Way tooo hard after brake booster hose was removed So I had to remove my brake booster hose and accidentally pressed the brake pedal and now I believe air got sucked into the brake lines...
We just bled all four calipers and the pedal travel was normal, but now its stiff again(zero travel) and I didn't even drive her yet.....What can cause this?

if you didn't open the master cylinder you didn't get air in the lines. You can't get air in the lines via the booster, totally different systems.
you let all the vacuum out of the booster (well, you let pressure in, but whatever). Place the hose back on and start the car up, push the pedal a few times and it should draw vacuum and go back to normal.

I tried turning the car on and pumping the pedal but it just doesn't want to soften up at all....And I also made sure that the brake booster hose is on nice and tight
