Watch this video and see if there are any alternatives you have not tried yet.  Progression is the key to any skill we try to learn/get better at.  If you continuously are stuck at "level 1" at any skill you are trying to learn then you need to figure out what you are not doing right.  For example, if you can not do 1 pull-up and you are using the "Gravitron" or any machine to assist you for a pull-up, then stop!  There are great ways to get assistance such as having a friend spot you or simply use a pull-up band.
