How to install MIUI 7 Global Stable ROM on Xiaomi Android Mobiles:
Method 1: Using Updater Application (OTA)
This method is only compatible when you’re on MIUI V5/MIUI 6 stable version on your Xiaomi smartphone. So, follow the below steps to install MIUI 7 using the Updater application.
Step 1: Launch the ‘Updater’ app on your mobile and tap on Check for updates.
Step 2: If the app shows a new update available for your device, then select the ‘Update’ option available at the bottom of the screen.
Step 3: Once the ROM is successfully downloaded, press Reboot now.
Step 4: There you go! You have just updated your mobile to the latest MIUI 7 OS using the OTA update.
Method 2: Flash ROM through Recovery
This method works fine for all devices running on Stable MIUI V5/ MIUI 6 versions. If you’re using China developer version/Global beta build, then you need to wipe all user data in Recovery mode before starting the below procedure.
Step 1: Download the MIUI 7 ROM based on your device model and transfer the same file to the root directory of your device’s storage.
Step 2: Next launch the Updater app and tap the three-dot present on the top right corner and there select ‘Choose update package’. Here you need to select the ROM which you have downloaded earlier in step 1.
Step 3: Start using the all-new MIUI 7 firmware.
Method 3: Using Mi PC Suite
Like the above methods, update using Mi PC Suite is also one of the simplest method to install MIUI 7 on Xiaomi Android smartphones. The PC Suite will not show any update if you’re on China developer ROM.
Step 1: Firstly download Mi PC Suite and install it on your Windows computer.
Step 2: Power off your device and enter into Fastbooot mode (Power button + Volume button at the same time).
Step 3: Next take a standard USB cable and connect your smartphone with PC. Launch the Mi PC Suite.
Step 4: Once your device is detected, tap on ‘Update’ present at the top right corner of the Mi PC Suite.
Step 5: You will see a new screen showing ‘Update available’. Press on ‘Update now’ to start flashing MIUI 7 ROM on your mobile.
Step 6: Once done, disconnect the device from PC and start using the all-new MIUI 7 version.

You can use the third party backup App by downloading from Google Play Store and then perform backup.
but my playstore keep on closing when i try to opened it 🙁
I should have mistaken. The Redmi Note 2 might be launched on MIUI 7 only in China. For other countries it might be launched on MIUI 6 OS. check the following link to download the ROM http://en.miui.com/download-274.html
Bhavin, Solved the problem ! i still receive the “No updates available message, so I went to http://en.miui.com/download-274.html, and downloaded the ROM update straight to my phone. I then followed Method 2 Flash rom through recovery, worked perfectly !!
