Infinite looping in hacker 1 - water
I like that you don't want to use CS50's tools and use tools that you are going to have available everywhere outside of CS50.
I was reviewing your code. I tried to solve it with a fflush(stdin) line, ...

Infinite looping in hacker 1 - water

Understanding infinite loop with while loop
while() will run as long as the condition inside is true. In your code, an integer >2 will make it an infinite loop because the condition will be forever true.

Written based on the second code:
You are allocating multiple times, overwriting the pointer each time? valgrind won't like that:
for(int i = 0; i < ALPHABETS; i++)
{
root = NULL;

Infinite looping
Well len can't possibly be in the same time both 15 and 16 and 13 (which is what your condition implies). Instead use
while ( len != 15 && len != 16 && len != 13);
Edit
Let's start ...

Pset4 recover problems detecting jpg data
It's not an infinite loop, it's just taking an extraordinarily long time to process. Look at your code to check for the signature:
for (int i = 0, n = sizeof(buffer); i < n; i++)
{
