Is there an impossible situation on the latch cube, where nothing will rotate?

Because the latch cube has arrows that show internal bandaging.
Certain faces can be rotated one direction only, because of the arrows on the faces.
(obviously not because of the stickers, but the stickers show where it is on the internals.Whoops, my bad, I just figured it out  Speaking of which, new puzzle idea. Take a latch cube, then resticker it! That way, nobody will know which turns are restricted!

Did anyone solve it already? (after messing it reasonably, of course) I find it really difficult. Almost impossible if you ask me. But I never looked for any solving information or advice (yet). Paulo

I solved it within 7 hours of getting it.

Wow! I suppose that all of you who have solved it did not use any algs that we know right? I imagine that the majority of the known algs would simply not be possible. Am I wrong?
Congrats!
I have solved the first layer (edges + corners with correct placement and orientation) but now I'm completely stuck. Only 2 faces of the cube can be rotated.
I suppose that this is not a good approach (F2L).

It seems to me that the heise method may be the most useful here, no?
