I had similar problem. Handbrake lever came up @3-4 notches till rock hard, but no brake.
Found one of the two threaded cable ends at bottom of lever under floor was contacting the frame crossmember, stopping the lever from further movement. Cut about an inch off the threaded portion so lever travel was not restricted. Take a look underneath with the lever pulled back as far as you can get it to go.
