As mario0318 stated... The LG L9 can be quite the pain to recover. The good news is that they generally can be recovered from just about anything... But will require some work on your end.
I'm currently helping another fellow member to try and recover his LG L9, in the thread that mario posted. I'd recommend reading through the last few pages of our discussion as there is some good reference material to help familiarize yourself with the L9 and there are some links with guides, tips, tricks and FAQ. Just to get you started.
LG has disabled fastboot on the LG L9. So really the only way to fastboot the L9 is to run a special script by lelus. For some that can be a pain to setup the drivers and to get the script to work.
Are you rooted?
Is your bootloader unlocked?
Do you have a custom recovery installed?
If I remember correctly to get into download/SW mode you... Power off your phone, press Volume (+) Up and then plug in the usb cable to your PC.
Since you flashed a ROM and got a security error.... Either the LG Flash Tool method or the "Offline Fix" method usually works the best.
Really your options to unbrick your L9 are to either -
You can try the unbrick method in the thread that mario posted above or
1. Do the "Online Fix" (LG support tool/PC suite) and recover your phone online with the LG support program.
2 Try the "Offline Fix" basically Spoofs LG servers and allows you to use the support tools and you can then flash any device specific supported KDZ (ROM) for your device... This also requires the fastboot script to be setup.

3. Try using the "LG Flash Tool" basically convert a KDZ to a .Bin file and flash it with the Flasher tool, while the phone is in download mode.
