Hey Im new to this forum and im also new to the Rubiks cube *2-3 days* and Im having some problems.

This has happened to me 2 times so far where im doing the last 4 corners and I end up with 2 corners out of the entire cube unsolved.

The next time this happens i will be sure to post a picture but I dont understand why i cant solve the last 2.

Btw I am learning from Dan brown of youtube.

Thx
 
Sorry I forgot to add ive not yet solved the rubiks cube except for like 2 times in my mates house with his help which i forgot lol

but its only today ive been able to get the cross / corners / 2nd layers done etc rite up to the last 4 corners but thats when i forget what im doing
 
Ya I watched it over and over thats how Ive been able to do the first 4 steps so far but im tryng to solve it rite now and see what happens whether or not i get the same problem again.
 
Did I get you right, that you have problems at the position of the [yellow] edges of the last layer (the algorithm probably is: URU'L'UR'U'L) ??

If its like this, don't worry ;) Did you think of holding the correct edge right and towards you; then you just have to perform this alg. until all edges are on their right position!

P.S.: was the cube correctly solved before scrambling it?
Problems are quiet normal when solving cubes!!!!!
 
Hold the cube so that one of the unsolved corners is in the front-right-up corner and do R'D'RD until it's fixed. Then twist just the top layer until the second piece is in the front-right-up corner and do R'D'RD until it's solved and then your whole cube will be solved.
 
Thats what it said on dan brown to and i did that so it must of been me doing something wrong i will do it more slowly when they come up like that again.
 
Ok I have all 2 layers done the green top and the blue cross done but the 4 corners arnt in rite place do i do this

U R Ui Li U Ri Ui L *do that as if there on the bottom right on the top face*?

to the corners until they are in the rite cube then do the Algorithm to flip them?

So the first two layers are done, your top layer is green, and the cross on green is done (not blue). Correct?

U R Ui Li U Ri Ui L *do that as if there on the bottom right on the top face*?

That algorithm cycles three corners around in a circle. If you have *one* corner in the right place, yes, place that corner (by rotating the cube) in the "bottom right of the top face", also known as the UFR position. Then run the cycle once or twice until the other three corners are in the right places.

to the corners until they are in the rite cube then do the Algorithm to flip them?

Yes. First put the corners in the right spots, then use R' D' R D to flip them.

3 corners where not solved 1 was i did the ri di r d and it didnt work :(

It sounds to me like you didn't put the corners in the right spots before you tried to flip them. But that's just an educated guess. It might help if you typed in complete sentences and gave us a little more information.

Remember, once you get to the corner flipping stage, you start with one of those corners in the UFR position. Once it is flipped, don't rotate the cube. Instead turn the U face until the next corner to be flipped is in the UFR position, then run the flipping algorithm again until it is solved. Repeat until all corners are flipped, and the cube should be a U turn away from being solved.

I got there In the end and now I can do it peace of cake. Now all i have to do is memorize and get a better cube.

I bought a Speedcube of amazon it should be here in a few days, but After reading some comments on here im a bit worried that it may explode or end up being not a speedcube but a slowcube.

You don't need a better cube, you need a better method.
