Bleed them again and be careful not to let the reservoir get too low.

I only change the rear break pads, and i bleed all 4 of them. One friend of mine told me i have to change the master sylinder; i just don't want to change it and that wasn't the problem.

Did you check the brake calipers? If the calipers are not squeezing the disk, the brake will not work.

If your calipers are seizing the brake(s) you would hear squeaky sound. There will be heat felt around the wheel(s). You can also smell the metal heating up. It happened to my Infiniti. It took me a long while to find out.
