the phone is locked to a network do you know what network this was locked too or previous owner if second hand? you must request the oem unlock from the network

I just checked apparently my phone is the 2pw2100 021-A ...I know you could root it with 7.0.. but I updated as soon as I got the phone ...is there a way to root it still ?

i believe that means its oem locked to verizon, you would need to contact them about unlocking it but im not sure if verizon will, im in the UK but from what i hear verizon wont help much

You bought a Verizon variant. With Verizon models you can't check "oem unlock" so you can't unlock the bootloader. You are stuck with a locked phone. No root.

Maybe, the people on this thread: Verizon Pixel Bootloader unlocked? by EstiR86
Had their Verizon Pixel/Pixel XL unlocked by Smail. You can also reach him via ebay: item 222913601503
