I made a big mistake... installed KERNEL][Z2] DooMKernel (v09)[20140604] but my bootloader is unlocked (I think). Can not boot to recovery, not to bootloader, nothing. It is somehow bricked?
I have (had) dual recovery and backups but is there any way to boot to recovery, or even to reset this phone? Thanks!

Use PC Companion to reinstall. You will lose all your data though.

Thank you, but the problem is that I cannot connect Z2 via usb. Cannot install even flash drivers to my win 8.1 (Parallels Desktop on Mac)... hopeless

If you with unlock bootloader, then find drivers for win 8.1or try on other computer with win 7 and flash Correct Ftf with Flashtool, not Pc Companion.
