For heteroskedasticity, use robust standard errors.
For normality, try to transform your variable (log, square root) and to eliminate outliers. Command -ladder- searches a subset of the ladder of powers (cubic, square, square-root, log, reciprocal root, reciprocal, reciprocal square, reciprocal cubic) for a transform that converts a variable into a normally distributed one. Which command did you use to test for normality?
