The model now converged but the prob is very high. Should I suppose the
presence of Heteroskedasticity now and before?

I would suppose just the opposite. Neither the z value in the lnsigma2 equation nor the corresponding LR test indicate that there is a problem with hetero, at least with normscapab. Indeed, having the hetero equation may be keeping you from finding significant results in the choice equation. It looks to me like you should just do a regular probit model.
