Last Layer (Part 4/4) Edge Permutation - How to Solve a Rubik's Cube

That excitement at the end tho
If you run into a situation with 2 solved edges and 2 non-solved edges, please see the pinned comment about this situation.
Opposite on right - M2 U M U2 M' U M2
Opposite on left - M2 U' M U2 M' U' M2
All opposites - M2 U' M2 U2' M2 U' M2
Diag swap - M' U' M2 U' M2 U' M' U2 M2 U
Note that M and M' are done with respect to the left face. I.e., M' is the same direction as L' (you pull the bottom of the M-slice towards you), and M is the same direction as L.
Also, M2 is really M2', but since they are equivalent most people prefer to just write it as M2.

I Seem to have an unsolvable problem. Can’t seem to find any solutions anyway.I’ve got all layers solved, I’m solving top layer. All corners are correct and in the right spot. Two sides are also correct. Blue and red sides solved, blue and red sides are at right angle to each other with all yellow on top. My green and orange sides are at a right angle from each other and they just need to switch. No idea what to do. Two sides and all corners solves, just two opposite colours need to switch places.

[@PeterHo8888]

Lauren Watson If this is a 3x3 then you're out of luck trying to solve it with any algorithm, unfortunately. A single diagonal swap like this is known as parity and for a 3x3 means that at some point perhaps stickers or individual pieces were swapped, making it impossible to solve. In that case, your best option would be to remove the two center pieces by turning the top layer 45 degrees and sticking your thumb under the pieces to pop them out. Afterwards, pop them back in the correct places with the top face still turned 45 degrees. Once done, you should NEVER have this problem again, unless somebody peels the stickers off or physically swaps the pieces.
If this is a 4x4, there are algorithms to swap those two pairs of pieces because parity is allowed to occur in 4x4s. If you need any more assistance, just let me know!

[@laurenwatson4079]

Thank you!
I've never removed stickers or removed pieces. This Rubik's cube has been doing this ever since I first discovered the algorithms in the solving guide. Does this mean it was out together wrong?
I've since changed the pieces around and have solved the cube many times now thank you.

[@PeterHo8888]

Yea, it seems to indicate that is wasn't correct to start :/. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask! I'm glad you're finding success with your cube :)

[@williamhecox6237]

That is impressive. You swapped all 4 edges in about 7 moves. I do it a little differently. I can swap 3 edges in 8 moves and I think my way is easier to follow. You can visualize it so you do not have to memorize the moves. Unfortunately to do all 4 edges I have to repeat it so takes a total of 16 moves.

Hey, I'm glad I could help! Btw, M-slice moves are done as if facing it from the left side. So M means you push the back of the M slice up, and M' pulls the bottom of the M slice towards you! I'll put a note in the description.

I always got stuck in the sixth side and was never able to solve it and gave up years ago it's not easy when you don't know what side to move next without moving all the other sides I guess that's what makes it hard to solve a rubix cube

*In my case there are two bars in last layer and two in the bottom as I did it with roux so can you help me with that ?
In top layer bars are next to each other and in bottom bars are opp. Of each other , how can I switch these edges ?*

[@PeterHo8888]

If you're using Roux, then this tutorial is probably not the best to follow. This specific video follows a 2-look PLL method for CFOP.
For your case, you still need to solve the LR edges on top (step 4b of LSE), and then you can solve the remaining four edges with step 4c of LSE. There are a lot of tutorials out there. Here's one from Kian, who's very well respected in the Roux community (although hasn't been active recently): ua-cam.com/video/YL55b8FljnE/v-deo.html
You can also find Waffle's tutorial here: www.speedsolving.com/threads/waffles-roux-tutorial.11506/. There are UA-cam videos linked here for each of the steps.
If you have any more questions, just let me know!

Can you show how to solve if the entire cube is complete besides two opposite edges that both need flipped?

[@PeterHo8888]

If those two edges' top colors aren't the same color as the rest of the top, then you need to first orient them so the entire top is one color (in this video, yellow). The way my last layer guide is done, you'd need to go back to "Part 1/4 Edge Orientation".
If instead the entire top is one color and you just have two pieces that need to be swapped, see the pinned comment

[@bigboi8901]

One side is already solved and the others aren't and I tried the left and right technique and it just changes the color of which one is solved
