In this video, I go through how to finish solving the white cross (after you have placed 4 white edges around the yellow center) and also how to place the 4 white bottom corners. Please watch my Steps 1 and 2 of my How to solve a Rubik's Cube tutorial on my channel playlist prior to watching this video!

I give a little more insight into why we are doing some of the moves we do. You must make sure that you match EACH white edge piece FIRST before flipping it onto the white side.

If you do NOT match each piece, you will not see the upside down T's at the end of the second step.

For the second step, we are looking for white corners in the TOP layer which have a white sticker on the SIDE. Once you have found one, you must match it diagonally with its center color. Is white facing left or right?

If facing left: Li Ui L
If facing right: R U Ri

Be sure to hold the center color you have matched on the FRONT face.

To fix a corner piece that has a white sticker on TOP, first make sure you position the corner piece above an empty spot (does not have a correcly placed corner). Then place that corner piece directly in front on the right, then do:

R U2 Ri

You can now match that corner piece and place it down using the 3 move sequences.

AWESOME THANKS I FINALLY GOT THE UPSIDE-DOWN Ts!!!

[MeMadeTheSkyFall]

@XROMANKAOUSX2 You must put it top to the yellow face and then match the sticker that is under the white sticker (the edge sticker under the white edge sticker) until it is matched to its respectful center. Then turn the face 180 degrees to match the white edge piece to the bottom (the white center). Then you notice the edge piece that was under the white edge piece is connected to the center which is the same color as the edge piece.

P.S. Sorry if you don't understand. =/

@cakreimer that's fine. just think of the color you fixed as the white face the man in the tutorial is using. i already tried it on every color, and it's all the same.
